This year until August, we already see many rally and riots all over the world. The worst is in Egypt that spread into it’s neighboring countries. Greece also have one. Last month Malaysia also got Bersih 2.0 rally at Kuala Lumpur. London being the latest with casualties and properties damage.

I just bump in into a website of Malaysian Ladies Golf Association or MALGA for the shorter. I don’t know about this association because maybe I don’t play golf. I think only few ladies play golf or having a golf membership in Malaysia. But I can see that golf is not so harsh and hard sport for ladies. The outfit for golfers also looks good and we can still look like ladies.
